Propolis is very popular for its beneficial health properties, such as antimicrobial activity and antioxidant effects. It one of the most long-serving traditional medicines to mankind due interesting chemical diversity therapeutic properties. The detailed information propolis samples necessary guarantee safety it be accepted into care systems. phenolic profile hydroethanolic extract was determined using HPLC-DAD, evaluated five complementary methods. Triterpenoids were isolated column...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and diabetes are non-communicable diseases with global impacts. Inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) suitable therapies for AD, while α-amylase α-glucosidase inhibitors employed as antidiabetic agents. Compounds were isolated from the medicinal plant Terminalia macroptera evaluated their AChE, BChE, α-amylase, inhibitions. From 1H 13C NMR data, compounds identified 3,3′-di-O-methyl ellagic acid (1), 3,3′,4′-tri-O-methyl...
Context: Nauclea latifolia Smith (Rubiaceae) is a small tree found in tropical areas Africa. It used traditional medicine to treat malaria, epilepsy, anxiety, pain, fever, etc.
Hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress are major risk factors for atherosclerosis, all three among the most important cardiovascular diseases. Cassia occidentalis aqueous extract has been used in African traditional medicine treatment of hypertension associated This study was undertaken to evaluate hypolipidemic anti-atherosclerotic properties leaves C. rats with hypercholesterolemia (HC). Sixty Normocholesterolemic (NC) male were divided into six groups (n = 10) fed a high-cholesterol (HC)...
The extracts of some propolis samples were analysed by GC-MS and then purified column chromatography. latter led to the isolation a new mono-ether glycerol, 1'-O-eicosanyl glycerol triterpene, methyl-3β,27-dihydroxycycloart-24-en-26-oate together with known triterpenoids namely betulin, 3β-hydroxylanostan-9,24-dien-21-oic acid, mangiferonic mixture ambolic acid β-sitosterol, 3β-hydroxycycloartan-12,24(25)-diene 27-hydroxymangiferonic acid. DPPH radical scavenging potential compounds...
Diabetes as well the enhanced microbial multidrug resistance resulting from biofilm formation, constitutes some of major health problems around world. Triterpenoids and their derivatives have been shown to a great contribution in this domain. A small library benzoyl esters lupeol β-amyrin was synthesized structures were characterized by electronic ionization mass spectrometry (EIMS). Their inhibitory potential on pathogenic bacteria biofilms, action α-amylase β-glucosidase activities...
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder which one of the leading causes mortality and morbidities in elderly humans. Chronic diabetes can lead to kidney failure, blindness, limb amputation, heart attack stroke. Physical activity, healthy diets medications reduce incidence diabetes, so search for more efficient antidiabetic therapies, most especially from natural products, necessity. Herein, extract roots medicinal plant Pterocarpus erinaceus was purified by column chromatography afforded...
A previously unpublished xanthone named securidacaxanthone D (1) and five known analogues: 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone (2), 7-hydroxy-1,2-dimethoxy-xanthone (3), 1,5-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyxanthone (4), 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (5), 1,7-dihydroxy-4-methxyxanthone (6) were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction obtained liquid-liquid partition of crude hydro-ethanolic extract roots Securidaca longipedunculata. Their structures determined by analysis 1D -(1H 13C), 2D-(COSY, HSQC...

Five extracts of propolis Adamawa Cameroon were obtained by percolation and maceration with five different solvents: hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol water, in order increasing polarity. Phytochemical screening was carried out on the total content flavonoids polyphenols evaluated photometric methods. The flavonoid using Neu reagent (2-aminodiethyl diphenylborinate) quercetin as standard results varied from 0.84±0.02 gQE/100gRM acetate extract to 1.52±0.06 ethanol extract. polyphenol...
Propolis is rich in diverse bioactive compounds. samples were collected from three localities of Cameroon and used the study. Column chromatography separation propolis MeOH:DCM (50:50) extracts yielded a new isoflavonol, 2-hydroxy-8-prenylbiochanin A (1) alongside 2',3'-dihydroxypropyltetraeicosanoate (2) triacontyl p-coumarate (3) isolated for first time together with seven compounds: β-amyrine (4), oleanolic acid (5), acetate (6), lupeol (7), betulinic (8), (9) lupenone (10). These...
Inflammatory diseases are a real public health problem worldwide. Many synthetic drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory such as steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nonsteroidal (NSAIDs) and immunosuppressive have harmful side effects. However, there natural products like propolis, which is traditionally pain. The objective this work was to evaluate analgesic activities ethyl ester arachic acid, compound isolated from Cameroonian propolis. acid by chromatography ethanolic extract propolis...
Graptophyllum pictum is a tropical plant noticeable for its variegated leaves and exploited various medicinal purposes. In this study, seven compounds, including three furanolabdane diterpenoids, i.e., Hypopurin E, A B, as well with Lupeol, β-sitosterol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, stigmasterol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside mixture of stigmasterol, were isolated from G. pictum, their structures deduced ESI-TOF-MS, HR-ESI-TOF-MS, 1D 2D NMR experiments. The compounds evaluated anticholinesterase...
Cissus quadrangularis Linn grows in Savannah areas Africa (Cameroon, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, etc). In traditional medicine, the plant is used to treat anorexia, asthma, sickle cells, colds, pains, malaria, asthma and as an analgesic. vivo animal models of epilepsy (maximal electroshock, nmethyl -d-aspartate, pentylenetetrazol, isonicotinic hydrazid acid strychnine -induced convulsions or turning behavior) insomnia (diazepam sleep) were used.
